Horrible Death.

A man by the name of Sam Ashby,
living near Midway, was run over and
killed by the train last Sunday morn
ing. The accident is very peculiar
one. Ashby was walking on the track
and seeing a freight train coming up
the grade stepped off and allowed it to
pass. After it had passed he again
got on the track and walked on with
his back to the train. BY some means
the caboose broke loose and running
backwards at a terrible rate of speed
struck him before he was aware OF it
and run over him killing him instant

Quite number OF ladies came in to
see our $40O wrap and of course they
were disappointed We will say here
that we are not responsible for the APP
pearance of such local in the col
ulhns of the COMET, 1t occurred in
this way. While opening up some ell
egant wraps last week, n COMET le-
porter stepped in and as one especially
struck his fancy he admired it very
much and wished that he had a wife
to wear it, Finally he asked the price
OF it, and knowing that he was q news
paper man, (and as you know they are
not always the smartest men in the
world,) we took advantage of the stu
alton at once, and priced it to him at
$4O0. He remarked that if he had not
left his pocket-book at home he would
purchase it, but said not to save it for
him as it was very doubtful whether
he would take it or not. We agreed
with him of course, but to do us q favor,
and not knowing the difference be-
tween seal skin and plush, he took
the liberty to advertise it. So you see
he is not responsible for this mistake.

THE DEATH ANGELS
DART.
Demise of Judge Michael A. Daugherty.

Judge M. A. Daugherty who as a
lawyer and democratic politician
was well known to many of our
citizens, died at his home in Col
umbus at 2.15 A. M. Sunday morn
ing last. His sickness lasted some
weeks, but was not considered dam
gerous uutil the day before he died.
The following epitome of his life is
from the Columbus Times:
M. A. Daugherty, son of Patrick
and Ann Daugherty, was born Nov.
q, 1916, at Baltimore, Md. His
parents emigrated in 1910 from the
north of Ireland. He completed
his education at the Baltimore
Academy, of which he is a gradu-
ate. In 1896 he removed to Ohio,
located at Lancaster, and read law
with Hon. John Garaughty, begin
ming in 1888, and was admitted to
practice by the Supreme Court of
Ohio in the Circuit at Dayton. He
began the practice of his profession
at Lancaster, and gained an hon
orable position at a celebrated bar.
In 1855 he formed partnership
with Hooking III. Hunter, In 1870

Cen. LOgan's Successor.

The Republican members of the
Illinois Legislature have decided
that Hon. r. c. Farwell, of Chica-
60, shall succeed to Gen. Logan's
place in the United States Senate.
Mr.. Farwellis a native of the
State of New York and is in his
sixty-fourth year, and has resided
in Illinois since 1888. He was a
member of the 42d and 43d Con-
gress and was declared elected to
the 44th, but his seat was contest
ed by Mr.. LIE Moyne.
He is reputed to be more of a bu-
siness man than politician, his
chief qualification being that he is
worth over $2,5O0,OO0. We predict
that he will never be the power in
the Senate Gen. Logan was.

The Dow Law.

Now that the Dow Liquor Law
has been held to be constitutional
there is desire on the part of
many persons to tinker it.
The Washburn bill introduced
in the House few days ago pro-
vides for submission of the ques-
tion whether Intoxicating liquors
shall or shall not be sold in town
ships and wards, to the qualified
voters at every spring election,
thus providing for the eternal ag-
itation Of the question, and there
is no doubt that there will be a
strong effort made to have the bill
passed.
We have learned to believe that
continual agitation is the only re-
suit sought for by those who style
themselves prohibitionists. They
appear to be never satisfied, and
are always clamoring.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1887-01-22

he was elected on the Democratic
ticket to the State Senate, and re-
elected in 1879. In 1878 he ran for
Attorney General on the same tick
etwith Governor Allen, but was de-
feated by small majority. In
April 1876, he was appointed Il
member of the codifying commits
sion by Governor Allen. He sur
vived all the original members of
the Commission. In May 1s43, he
was married to Mrs. McCalum,
daughter of John Wood, of Marys-
vile, Ky. No children were born
to them. Mr.. Daugherty was a
member of the Catholic Church,
and attended services at the Ca
thedral. He was a man Of broad
culture and sterling charcter.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1887-01-22


THE Council we think, have not
submitted the Prohibition question
in the form we usually discuss it..
1t is proposed the tickets shall
read, "Sale of intoxicating liquors,
Yes" "Sale of Intoxicating liquors,
No" We think the matter would
be more appropriately and correct
ly stated thus; Prohibition of the
sale of Intoxicating liquors "yes;"
Prohibition of the sale of Intoxicat-
ing liquors "No." This puts the
case in the form in which the
voters usually discuss the matter
when they talk to each other about
it. 1t is somewhat peculiar for a
person to advocate prohibition, and
when he votes, to write "No" on
his ticket, or if opposed to prohibi-
tion, to write, "Yes" on his ticket.

New Pension Legislation.

WASHINGTON. ID. G.. Jan. 1.-THE
House of Representatives to-day
passed an important pension bill
which will largely add to the roll
of public beneficiaries. The pres
ent law as to dependency so far as
heirs are concerned requires a pen
sion claimant to prove dependence
at the time of the soldiers death
The bill passed to-day makes it
only necessary to show by compe-
tent evidence that the parents are
now dependent and without other
means of support than their own
manual labor. All persons who
served three months in the service,
and who may now or may hereafter
be suffering from mental or physic-
al disability not the result of vi
cious habits or gross carelessness,
and who are dependent on their
labor for support, are to be placed
on the pension roll at the rate of
$12 a month, the pension to COM
mence upon the date of the filing of
the application. Rank in the SER
vice is not to be considered in ap-
plications under the bill, but there
is proviso that only one pension
is to be allowed to one person at
the same time. To collect this
class of claims the fee of the agent
or attorney is fixed at S..
The House also concurred in the
Senate amendments to the bill to
grant pensions to the surviving
soldiers and sailors of the Mexican
war. 1t embraces in its provisions
all who served sixty days. To the
widows who have not remarked
the provisions likewise apply, but
such as served in the Confederate
army are excluded from its benefits.
The rate of pension is rs a month.

The Absorbing Topic.

Wherever you go or wherever
you see a knot of three or four
persons, you can safely presume
that the subject under discussion
is local prohibition.
And in the discussions many,
who have been renowned more
for the use of the "ardent" than
for abstemius habits, are favoring
the passage of prohibitory ordi-
nance, and many who are habitu-
ally abstemious are slow to give
favor to the proposition. What
the result will be can only be told
after the votes are counted

one wants to invest, and If you
shut off the saloon tax 1t will great

still need the money for police and

back this money, po rata to the sa-
looms that close. This money also
relieves us in the county. 1t rails

that purpose. Take this off and we

is adopted in Logan and not else
where, it will injure the business

thing that has ever happened to
the place. You may talk about
the morality or immortality of the
liquor business as much as you
like, but it does not get around the
fact that money and it's circula-
ton makes trade, and when you
take the liquor business out, you
take out large part of the money
or capital that helps to make busi-
ness, and put nothing in it's place.
This Injuries all business and when
this happens it brings hard times
and makes many sufferers, not
from the evils of drink. but from
other sources over which they
have no control. There are many
things besides drink that cause
misery and suffering.
You cannot legislate brains, and

MIR. ED.
/ see by your last paper that Lo-
gan is to have an election on the
question OF Prohibition. Now
have been thinking some about
this matter these cold days when
l can't do much work.
/ learn that the saloon men pay
about $4,000 in this County under
the Dow Law and that Logan pays
abe ut $4,000. Three-fourths of this
or about $2250, goes in the corpora
ton treasury, and is divided equal
ly to pay the police and general ex-
penses. The balance paid in the
County goes to the poor fund.
Now If you did not have this
money raised from the saloons the
town and county would have to
raise it in some other way. All
the way you would have is to levy
taxes. The taxes are high enough
now, much too high,--about $3. on

which there Is no immediate or
even remote need, yet notwith-

attempt to put a stop to the accum-

the tax off two of the most useless
